I refer the Deputy to the answer to Parliamentary Question number 975 put down for answer on 26 September 2007. I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question made a Family Reunification application in January 2006. The application was forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. This investigation has been completed and the Commissioner has forwarded a report to my Department. The Immigration Division of my Department will be in contact shortly with the person concerned seeking further clarification.
